Thinking about a relaunch of the Sanremo gaming house was already in the electoral program of the new mayor Alessandro Mager, I had seen it. It seems the time has come lay the foundations for this operation.
Here is a series of data found in my personal reserve from which to deduce the quantitative and qualitative aspect, taking into account the relevance of the quality of the game and, even before that, the attendance, certainly not the latter, on my part.
The examination of the numbers undoubtedly precedes the choice of the initiatives to consider for the final result that was sought and is sought to be achieved.
I certainly don’t mean to put myself in anyone else’s shoes, but I didn’t have to force my curious nature to go looking for some “numbers” that I find interesting.

The results of the years relating to the pandemic period are not indicated, nor are the attendances due to the possibility that some years include slot registrations and others do not.
By having homogeneous attendance data available for all the indicated periods, it could be possible to prepare an income/attendance comparison. This is a predominantly statistical element which does not preclude, of course not by itself, a different use also in terms of production policy.
It seems to me that the previous data, given the search for quality, should also be identified with the incidence of slot machine revenues on the total, and, if it is still sufficient as I think, proceeding to the identification of traditional table games (French roulette, trente et quarante and chemin de fer) and American ones, are quite satisfactory.
Special attention should be paid to poker and related tournaments. Just as was done in the past for chemin de fer competitions and, much less so, French roulette.
As for 2023, since I do not have complete revenue data, I preferred to leave the space blank.

It is to be considered useful, through the identification of the games which, dating back to 2002, have been permitted a strong increase in board gamesbegin to reflect with due attention on the relaunch by considering, before anything else, quality without ignoring the relevance of quantity.
A careful and in-depth analysis of attendance, direct and/or indirect manifestations with positive implications on the game, could provide effective indications for the near future.
Clearly I cannot go beyond what has been stated as I do not know the current or past situation regarding production policy and, in particular, who it was aimed at and how. Some practical premises to prepare a specific study that takes into account the possible and/or possible variations and combinations also in terms of management typology they seem present to me. The latter is a topic on which I do not intend to say anything because it is the responsibility of politics, the only subject capable of a global evaluation.
